A DISH OF SALAD.

LAMAR seems to grow in bitterness
and intensity. AdviceS from Washing
ton indicate that SPARKS will resign
rather than submit to being humiliated
by LAMAR. The president. it is be-
lieved, will stand by LAMAR. There
are good many hearts i'll Dakota that
will bleed if it does not turn out this
way. Dakota seems to be the only spot
in broad America where SPARKS has
aroused any opposition or animosity to-
ward himself.
1t is settled that Judge FRANCIS must
go. This much is an absolute certainty.
His head is practically cut off. But the
identity of his successor still remains
mystery. However, the residents and
lawyers of the district will not worry
about that point. Anybody but FRAN
CTS!
Capt. AMOS CoGGSwELL, of Mime
sofa, writes a letter to Col. j. w. Coop
RICH, Of jamestown, Dak. (Which the
latter gives out for publicatiOnl, express
ing his disapprobation of the methods
of the national administration. as well
as that of Dakota. This is one of the
natural results of all mutual Sympathiz-
ing societies. Col. GOODRICH was an
unsuccessful aspirant for position
under the general government, while
Capt. COGGSwELL, after long struggle
to get the OwatOnna pOstoffice, has
given up all hope, and withdrawn his
name from further consideration.

The organization of Democratic clubs
throughout the territory is a good move.
Every town of Importance in the terri
tory should maintain such an organiza-
ton.
A dozen or more pertinent questions
were propounded to Gov. PIERCE
through last weeks GLOBE. Watch his
department to-day and see if he doesn't
dodge again. He must toe the mark or
the people will fay him alive, if he ever
presents himself for political prefer
ment.
The Rapid City Journal unkindly sug-
gests, as the reason why Congressman
HILL did not accept the Dakota Office
rendered him by the president, that it
was not very lucrative one. This is
hardly fair, and tends to discourage i'm
migration.
The GRANDIN brothers are pretty fly
themselves, and don't propose to be
knocked out by the indemnity land
business. They have secured a suffi-
cient number of their friends to act as
''squatters, 'and these friends in need"
have dotted every section of the big
GRANDIN farm with claim shanties,
thus securing the land from seizure by
vOraciOuS settlers. It's a cute trick,
but might not ''hold water" in the
courts.

Judge FRA NCIs has cOncocted a grea
scheme for getting back on the bench
as soon as congress meets, even if he is
fired by the president. 1t is not only a
great scheme, but a novel one. He will
induce the United States senate to re-
ject the nomination of his successor,
and this will leave him in undisputed
possession of the ermine until his term
eXpires-some time in August next.
But is the judge sure that the senate
would do that?
ALIEN. MCKENZIE and W. f. STEELE
have lately returned from Washington,
where, it is alleged, they went in the
interest of Judge FRANCIS. Their visit
0OeS not seem to have been very success
full. They had better stick to the BOOM
ing of town lots.

RumOr brings from Bismarck the story
that Editor JEWELL, of the Tribune, is
ready to lay wagers of 800 to $50 that
Judge FRANCIS will serve out his term.
The judge must have been whispering
that United States senate rejection story
in his ear.

1t is officially announced that Commits
sloner of immigration and Statistics
MCCLURE will remove his office from
Bismarck to Pierre before January l..
This may be taken as an indication of
the fact that the Sioux reservation is
soon to be opened. MCCLURE wants to
